A source at Hudson's Bay tells us that TopShop/TopMan will open two suburban Montreal locations. The suburban TopShop/TopMan stores will be located within Hudson's Bay stores at Le Carrefour Laval and at the Galeries d'Anjou. In addition, the Downtown TopShop within Montreal's flagship Hudson's Bay store will be expanded as well. 

We're awaiting word of the opening dates for the suburban Montreal stores and the expanded Downtown Montreal store.  We'll update you when we get that information. This announcement gives the Montreal area at least three TopShop/TopMan stores. 

The Galeries d'Anjou TopShop/TopMan will be part of a substantially renovated 190,000 square foot Hudson's Bay store. The renovation coincides with an expansion of the mall and the addition of large anchor tenants Target and La Maison Simons. 

TopShop/TopMan is expanding across Canada via Hudson's Bay. One of the world's largest TopShops - a 33,000 square foot location - opened in October 2012 at Vancouver's Downtown Hudson's Bay. Toronto currently has two TopShop/TopMan locations: a 19,000 square foot location within the flagship 'Queen Street' Hudson's Bay store and a 15,000 square foot TopShop/TopMan at Hudson's Bay, Yorkdale Shopping Centre. We recently reported on TopShop's eventual store within the Square One Hudson's Bay store, and Toronto will also get TopShop/TopMan within a renovated Hudson's Bay store at the Sherway Gardens Shopping Centre (we snuck in that announcement here for diligent readers). 

We also recently reported on TopShop's opening at Hudson's Bay in Calgary's Chinook Centre. More Canadian TopShop/TopMan locations will follow and we'll be announcing them periodically. An Edmonton location is in the works, for example.
